I thought it was really clear too, but when I went to trace the
line of reasoning in the text of the spec, I found this
oddness:
"integer has the following Ëconstraining facetsË:
...
whiteSpace
..."
-- http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#integer
"[Definition:] A constraining facet is an optional property that can be
applied to a datatype to constrain its Ëvalue spaceË."
-- http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dt-constraining-facet
So the whitespace facet constrains the *value space*
of integer somehow?
Maybe that's spurious (I just sent a message to xmlschema-comments
seeking clarification). But I hope it makes it more clear why
the RDF Core WG deliberates the way it does.
